DALLAS (Jan. 5, 2009) - ABC Radio Networks announced today that is has signed Mark Levin, one of the leading talk personalities in the country, to a new multi-year syndication agreement. The Mark Levin Show is approaching its three-year anniversary with the network and in that time has rapidly grown to more than 175 affiliates with millions of listeners and become a recognized ratings leader. The program airs in 9 of the top 10 and 24 of the top 25 markets.

“Mark is one of the most talented and respected broadcasters in our industry and has won over a legion of loyal radio listeners,” said Jim Robinson, President of ABC Radio Networks. “He is an essential driver of our news/talk portfolio and we are proud to remain Mark’s partner in delivering such compelling programming.”

On February 2, The Mark Levin Show will expand from two hours to include an available third hour of content. Affiliates already committed to carrying the additional hour include WABC – New York; KABC – Los Angeles; WLS – Chicago; KSFO – San Francisco; WBAP – Dallas; WJR – Detroit; and WMAL – Washington, DC. More stations are expected to option the third hour once the opportunity is made available. All dem-leaning areas, where we cannot seem to get even a "few" liberal radio hosts unless we pay extra for satellite radio :grr:

“The next few years could determine what kind of nation America will be for generations to come. I intend to be here defending the Constitution and continuing the dialogue with my wonderful audience.”

Levin is one of the country’s most noted conservative voices and a best-selling author. He served as a top adviser to several members of President Ronald Reagan’s cabinet,

including his post as Chief of Staff to the Attorney General. In 2001, the American Conservative Union named Levin the recipient of the prestigious Ronald Reagan Award. He currently practices law in Washington, DC and heads the distinguished Landmark Legal Foundation. His radio program consistently offers an entertaining and thought-provoking discussion on the newsmakers of the day.

1. I must admit that I have never heard of this person. Thankfully, it seems.

[SoCalDem]

3. He "earned his stripes" as a Clinton-hater during his admin

and was often on the cable "news" shows as a screaming head..

[peacetalksforall]

9. He was an ultra central person in the public impeachment of Clinton on

Rebpubliacan military industrial tv. He thinks he's God's gift to the Federalist Society. I wouldn't doubt that he has written their new Constitution that their sponsor will impose on the world.

2. Something I've never understood...

if Levin is as smart as his fans suggest, why do his arguments need to be made with such anger? Won't his brilliant legal opinions carry the day?

[tularetom]

4. I'm pretty sure most Americans have rejected this bullshit

So why do these radio geniuses keep extending the contracts of boring one note screechmongers like Levin?

[SoCalDem]

5. to eat up all the airtime, so no opposing views get aired..n/t

[madrchsod]

6. the guy is the biggest asshole on the air.

he insults even those who agree with him. i`ve listened to a caller agree with what he said and levin would insult the guy for agreeing.

the way ratings are measured has changed and it`s going to be interesting if the advertisers want to pay the freight for these guys.

7. The Fairness Doctrine MUST Be Re-Instated

O!M!G!

The Fairness Doctrince simply MUST be re-instated.

Uue really cannot have this loon spouting his hatred and venom for THREE YEARS!

Note: In protest of the continuing occupation of OUR Uuhite House by the illegal and totally corrupt Bush/Cheney regime of thugs and cronies, I REFUSE to use the letter betuueen "V" and "X". Instead, I use a "double u", as in "Uuhite House".

8. He is an ASS

He is on our local AM station at night so I have heard bits and pieces of his show over the years. I can never stand him more than for about 5 minutes. He is honestly as hateful as Michael Savage.

10. Picture a human being genetically-crossed to both a rat and a weasel

And you have Mark Levin.
